A contestant on the VH1 reality show "Dating Naked" is now suing because she was shown naked during an episode, Good Morning America reports.

Jessie Nizewitz is suing Viacom as well as the producers of "Dating Naked" for $10 million. Jessie claims she was humiliated on social media with horrible messages after producers assured her certain parts of her body would be covered during a wrestling scene. She says when the show aired, viewers were treated to the full Monty.

"My grandma saw it. I saw her this week and she didn't have much to say to me. She's probably mad. My parents are just annoyed," Nizewitz told the New York Post.

Nizewitz's attorney, Matthew J. Blit, released a statement to Entertainment Weekly reading:

On top of the money, Nizewitz wants a huge apology from the network. She claims the show cost her a budding relationship with someone she had been seeing for a month who never called her after the episode aired.

VH1 and Viacom have not commented on the lawsuit.
